An original dramatic opera composed by Robert E. Schlink, associate professor in Berklee's Ensemble Department, and his son, Berklee alumnus Robert C. Schlink, and directed by Carol Schlink, Queen Boudicca: A Metal Opera is scored for a large company of singers, a small conventional orchestra, and a heavy metal band.

In this concert, Berklee faculty member Anthony Scibilia (Liberal Arts/Berklee Global Jazz Institute) and Berklee alumnus Casey Andersen explore the connections between music, visual art, and poetry in a series of original compositions. The poetic and visual works of several artists, including Pablo Neruda and Bernard Childs, will form points of departure for the musical works featured.

In conjunction with the Red Room, the Songwriting Department is proud to present our monthly open mic event for Berklee songwriters. All current Berklee students are welcome to play an original composition under five minutes long.

The sixth annual Curtain Up theatrical concert showcases the winning songs of a campus-wide musical theater songwriting contest, with new arrangements by students of musical theater arranging and orchestration.
